OIL/PACK oil and gas jobber software offers flexible links to DTN data services.

Data Transmission Network # of Omaha, NE supplies comprehensive petroleum product pricing to its subscribers via Ku band satellite transmission. A DTN-supplied program called PC/Price Analysis preformats the received data for use by OIL/PACK.

The DNTergy - OIL/PACK combination integrates up-to-the-minute pricing data with all of the proven features of the best jobber management system to maximize your efficiency in a competitive marketplace.

• OIL/PACK maintains up to 9 fuel cost tables. Each table has a cost slot for every fuel product type, e.g., #1 Diesel, Regular Unleaded, #2 Low Sulfur Diesel, Jet A, etc.
• Each table's product type entries are linked to OIL/PACK inventory items. With the DTN module, each may also be linked to a single refiner/terminal/product item.
• Each of the linked products includes provisions for Superfund, other taxes, discounts and transportation, plus a general adder to derive a laid-in price.
• Each product can be flagged as branded or unbranded, active or inactive to match DTN terminology.
• Tight links to OIL/PACK inventory are optional; the module may be used efficiently as a decision support tool without automatic transfer of prices into OIL/PACK.
• Single keystroke updating of prices from DTN data into OIL/PACK files.
• Data may be displayed by DTN or refiner product name, OIL/PACK product type, refiner terminal, terminal group or terminal city.
• Used-defined standard product load may consist of up to four products and quantities, providing analysis of "best-buy" comparison between reference and three other comparison suppliers.
• Full access to all DTN data from within the OIL/PACK program system.
